President Trump's Immigration Policy

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IMMIGRATION POLICY PRIORITIES

Executive Summary

The Trump Administration is ready to work with Congress to achieve three immigration policy objectives to ensure safe and lawful admissions; defend the safety and security of our country; and protect American workers and taxpayers.

BORDER SECURITY: Build a southern border wall and close legal loopholes that enable illegal immigration and swell the court backlog.

· Fund and complete construction of the southern border wall.

· Authorize the Department of Homeland Security to raise and collect fees from visa services and border-crossings to fund border security and enforcement activities.

· Ensure the safe and expeditious return of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) and family units.

· End abuse of our asylum system by tightening standards, imposing penalties for fraud, and ensuring detention while claims are verified.
